I have learning disabilities. I am Dyslexic and I have trouble at times with spelling and grammar. I have Sensory Disorder (if you don't know what that is, it's mainly a stronger link to your senses.) I have the allergies, asthma and IBS, so I am aware of health issues that are commonly related to children. None of these issues have ever been a problem with working with children; they just make me more respectful of what some of the children are going through. The norm is there is no norm anymore.

I have been with my husband since 1999. We have been married since 2005. He is from Colorado and I am from Minnesota, but I have family ties in Norway and California. We have a daughter that was born in 2012 and and have dog that was born in 2016. I don't drink, smoke, or do drugs. Nor have I ever tried any of that. Sweets are my vice. I am a lot of fun, but pretty much a by the rules sort of girl. My daughter is pretty much the same way. She is a WEB Leader. Members of NJHS. Into school dance team and the drama club. We love camping and bowling. My daughter is a comp dance team and likes to volunteer locally.

Growing up, I worked in the nursery at my church, was a lifeguard, and also worked as a camp counselor a few summers at a church based camp. I worked as a nanny in college for a wonderful family (it was weird to see the youngest now getting married.) I worked my way from Aide to Asst Teacher to Teacher to Lead Teacher in the child care system over the years. I was the youth intern, youth softball score keeper, and Sunday School Teacher at my church for years until I let my former students take over for me when I moved. When time allows I am involved in my church's youth program. I was also a girl scout leader for 3 different troops now over the years. I just couldn't be a leader for all the girls in all their different troops anymore. Every spring break in college I went on mission trips to build schools for children in Mexico. My husband is a semi pro at cornhole that takes him all over. I am very much into photography. It was the first major crossroads in my adult life, having to choose between Education and Photography. I am involved with my daughter's school and her dance/theater programs. I also have a part time job helping run an social media ambassador program for a company's youth reps. I just love children and can't imagine not working in a field relating to them in some way, shape, or form.

There is tons more I could tell about myself, but just wanted you to get an idea of who your child's teacher would be. Feel free to ask me anything else you want to know.
